Our Past Work

In 2013, Marcèle Lamarche, the director of Le Chaînon shelter, wrote the following to us:

"I would like to express once again my most sincere gratitude for the wonderful Christmas gift shoeboxes we received from you a few days before December 25th. It is amazing how those boxes carried so many products along with messages of solidarity from our community towards women in need who seek shelter, help and hope at Le Chaînon. On a personal note, may I add that for homeless women who search for a roof, a meal and a bed every single night at Le Chaînon and whose shoes are worn out, the shoebox is a strong symbol of sisterhood."

Thank you to our sponsors!

Make a Shoebox

Each Shoebox is special and made unique with your personal touch. It's fun and rewarding and every Shoebox helps a woman experiencing homelessness remember that she is loved and valuable.
